Wish I could have attended the Global Philanthropy Forum, but this sounds pretty good, too!!
Many of the issues that philanthropy is tackling today, such as climate change, access to food and water, health, and education are impossible to draw boundaries around. Additionally many corporations also now operate in multiple locations around the globe. As a result of these and other factors, increasingly foundations of all sizes and types are expanding the scope of their grantmaking to serve global needs.
Earlier this spring, the Global Philanthropy Forum (GPF) held its annual conference here in the Bay Area to share the latest lessons learned and emerging tools at work in global philanthropy. This panel, made up of local grantmakers who participated as presenters at GPF will provide an overview of some of the cross-cutting issues raised at the GPF conference that may impact grantseeking trends in the future, such as competition-based philanthropy, emerging technologies that may catalyze philanthropy and nonprofit innovation, and the growing field of social entrepreneurship.
Panelists:
Jill Freeman, vice president, Global Philanthropy Forum
Kari Dunn Saratovsky, vice president, social innovation, Case Foundation
Kevin Starr, director, Mulago Foundation
June Sugiyama, director, Vodafone Americas Foundation
